Man I mean I should convince you not to go to therapy. Do you know how good that shit is? I swear, weed had NOTHING on the feeling of connecting with your emotions with a licensed professional to help give perspective to your life that you didn't have before. Like I've had great trips on shrooms or doing stupid shit while drunk, but like, recognizing the places you need to grow while accepting yourself for who you are? Fuckin sick dude. It's top tier shit. Expensive as fuck, but it's so worth it.
It's not my job to educate you.
I'm sorry that's between you and your therapist. I'm not here to violate HIPPA.
I was mostly going with how you went at them for not giving an essay, and then responding with a shit fling, but now that you mentioned it, i think you should bring up what your username is on your first day of therapy to give the doc a better idea of the work they'll have to do.
Also therapy just really isn't an insult. I've been in therapy for a decade and now my biggest problems are how many hearts I'm breaking each year.
I really hope the irony of this comment wasn't missed by cumskin_genocide
Very dry, I'm dying 😂
Right they're talking about Congress. There's still issues with districting though.
The thing that stinks is
A) the electoral college makes it so only 4 or 5 states really matter
B) there's an amnesia about trump from the never trump republicans. My dad is conservative but didn't vote trump. He thought he was an asshole. Now my dad talks about how Biden is crooked, and the only reason people hate trump is because, and his words, "orange man bad".
C) puritanical leftists have valid reasons to not like Biden, but they are willing to blow up the system as they always have. I say puritanical because I know there are pragmatic leftists who exercise restraint in their actions.
In 2020, the suburban vote was a critical win for Biden. I'm hoping for the best, but I'm starting to sit with the fact that Trump has a decent, if not likely, chance of winning in 2020.
At least in this administration.
Don't forget to vote in November. I know we all said we aren't voting for Biden but the realities for project 2025 are beginning to set in.
I had a breakup so I wrote a sad song. It's a bit jazzy. I hope lyrics count as poetry.
In the morning
The one I wish I never knew
In the morning
The last one I'll wake with you
.
When the words that come out
Are whispers of a shout
From a heart that pleads it not to be true
.
In the morning
The last morning I have you
.
In the morning
After confessions in the night
In the morning
I never held you so tight
.
The dreams that we had
That could never come to pass
A bird who broke it's wings
Before it hit the glass
.
In the morning
The last morning I had you
.
instrumental
.
I made sure to smell
Your hair before farewell
I don't know if you noticed
I don't know if you could tell
.
In the morning
The last morning I had you

I noticed that with other threads, or when I edit comments. I've accidently pissed off a lot of people 😅
Yea I saw that then deleted my comment...
I remember space camp! I was in 5th grade and they had a 2020 mission to Mars simulator. We all died.
I like to think there was a two way mirror with researchers on one side taking notes. "Don't send a team on 5th graders to Mars"
I'm pretty sure this wasn't the most Anakin was burned.
More specifically because they are talking to me at all, not just in broken English.
Portugal is red because it was stained with an abundance of port wine.
"I'm not pregnant"
"Oh, I know 😘"
Happy pride everyone 🏳️🌈
Awww for a second I thought the title of the post was the title of the article. Way to get my hopes up 😮💨
I've been in therapy for 10 years, and with my current therapist for 4 of them. I love him and he's great, and don't get me wrong therapy is a life saver, but I recently hung out with a childhood friend and we talked about some deep things. My therapist is a pro and doesn't offer advice other than helping perspective shifts, but my friend made some observations and suggestions that hit home. He just straight up said "huh, it sounds like you should call your mom more" and "you know, I see what you do and I don't think the weed has been stopping your productivity, but if it's in the way of happiness you need to do what you need to do" (my big thing with weed was I would kick myself for not getting shit done while high).
I realized I haven't really opened up much to friends and partners, primarily because I'd say "I'll just hold this for therapy". Way long ago I dated someone who was very "I'm not your therapist, please leave that for Tuesday", and I kinda kept that. It's easy for me to talk to someone who doesn't know anyone in my life and I trust will be neutral, but at the same time I have had trouble communicating with people in my outside life.
I dunno, just was a thought.

This has happened to me a few times. One I remember was the game Alchemist, where I just sat there confused as hell for 4 and a half hours while three guys were all talking about strategies. Tonight it was Terraforming Mars, where I was told it would be a 3 hour game, but by hour 4 we were halfway done. This time I said "it's 11pm, I have work in the morning, this will be my last hand" and the host got very passive aggressive with me. I just don't know what to do in these situations.
^Also is there a word for this? My girlfriend said I was "held game hostage" but I don't see that used in my searches.^
Update: I sent an apology for leaving early, and he wasn't too frustrated about it and understood my frustration which was nice. I told him I didn't think it was my cup of tea since it was so dense, but he kept trying to sell me on the game.
I just gotta learn how to decline with this guy, he is a bit of a "won't take no for an answer" person, but I'm still learning to be firm with boundaries.
I'm really a 45 minute or less person, and prefer games with like... 5 rules. I have communicated that before, but he really wants me to play the games he loves which I take as a compliment.
He did have me playing Dominion for a while, and that was a time when I just would suck it up and play for his sake since he was going through a divorce. We literally had the parks and rec sketch where I said "I don't really like Dominion" and he said "what do you mean? You've played all the games!"
He housed me when I was homeless, so it's hard for me to decline things with him since he showed me that huge kindness.

I remember way back someone talking about how most European explorers to the new world were younger siblings, as back in Europe older siblings were more likely to inherit land/ family business/ be more successful in general, leading to younger siblings leaving to try and find success abroad. Is there any truth to this theory?
